Well, I didnt find the one I wanted (blizzard/tan) but I did find a beige/tan with Nav and entertainment 04 with 31k and paid 32,500 from an auction this morning. Granted I will pay approx $800 shipping cost but not a bad price...even if I did buy it Wholesale. Just thought I would pat myself on the back and share my good news

So 1,500 (trde reduction) + 1,500 (discount) equals $3K off. Just wanted to post this so that others thinking of trading will see that $35K-$36K is really a more practical range.

Welcome to ClubLexus and the GX forum. Did you keep the RX?

As a follow up to my details, the Toyota dealer I trade this into now has my old 25K mile GX470 , White, grey with NAVI and RSES and 3rd row seats on their lot marked @ $46,995!!!! I know that they don't expect to get that for it, but it does show that they probably do still expect to get $42K for it or so (average retail). Based on the prior guy buying one @ auction for $32K and these guys listing mine for $46K, I think I am in the wrong business! LOL Anyway, just thought the forum would be interested in the details if someone's wondering what values are...
Wow, talk about a thick margin! I guess this is especially helpful for anyone looking to buy a used 04! But this dealer is dreaming, if 06s are selling for maybe $1k - $2k over that list price, they'd better be willing to really come down (lower than $42k). But hey, maybe I'm totally wrong and someone will buy it for that amount. In any event, I agree 100%, need to be in the car business based on what I'm seeing here!

Pricing UPDATE!
Finding humor on these boards. Here's an update. This dealer may not realize what they have (i.e. NAVI, RSES, 3rd row, etc) becuase now they have done a 180 and are now asking only $36,995 as an "Internet Special". Here's the link for anyone seeking a bargain...
